Ok, using that psychology then, I suppose we would run out of money
whenever someone just registers a domain. However, we do not. Why?
Because we still have to approve of the registration before it goes
through. So it would make sense that a renewal could work the same way,
ie., the customer either renews, or adds years to their domain
(submitting a CC of course) and then we can just approve of it, assuming
their CC/payment goes through. Again, this is the same thing we are
doing now when it comes to a new registration. So why should a renewal
be any different?

I suppose we will have to write that functionality into the script
ourselves then.
